My winch bumper has finally arrived from Iron Bull Bumpers in Casa Grande AZ. I ordered it on 9 June. The 6-8 week build time was expected. the weather delays, and waiting for a full load took. for. ever. My truck has been at my mechanics yard waiting since Labor Day. Hopefully I'll have my little monster back home soon. Pics then.

My mechanic mounted the bumper, and left the winch sitting in the box in the back of the truck. Still waiting. But I did get pictures.. The License is covering the winch line port.

More winch woes. The Clutch on the Apex 12K isn't clockable, so it went back, and a stronger, less expensive unit who's clutch is clockable is on it's way.

Not familiar with the term clockable? What does a clockable winch do, that a non-clockable winch can’t do?

Youtube has several videos. Basically, It's rotating the clutch control handle to the position you want it in (usually up). The new 12K Badland winch doesn't allow the clutch control assembly to be rotated.
